Category: Exotic Sports 3 out of 5

Summary of the Nissan Skyline GT-R R33 (1995-1999)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Performance, handling, steering, grip, brakes - everything about the way it feels to the driver. And it's practical.

Drawbacks

Purposeful-looking but hardly beautiful. Stiff ride on rough roads. R34 version.

Verdict

Great do-it-all sports car.

Review

Overview3 out of 5

Looks and performance are what count in this class, and the Skyline R33 is a technical masterpiece, using highly advanced four-wheel-drive technology and a turbocharged engine to provide one of the most memorable sporting drives of all time. It has huge ability on both roads and race tracks, yet seats four people and has the usual excellent Nissan warranty and reliability. The cabin was improved in this latest version, but it still doesn't have the special interior ambience of a Ferrari or Aston Martin. It's very competitively priced, though.
